Hey guys. I'll be updating a lot before school. School starts in a week for me. I'm hoping to write at least one chapter for each of my unfinished stories. Yes, even Love That Was Always There. Along with 2 new stories. Yeah. Let's see how much I can get done.

~~~~~*~~~~~

It was Friday morning and May wore her cheerleading outfit because today there was a football game. May walked into the school and received stares from everyone. It wasn't like she never got them. Those stares meant they knew something but who knows, they may have just heard about the news of the break up. Word travels around fast so who knows what could have happen.

"Hi everyone." May said walking up to the cheerleading squad. The all looked down not wanting to say anything. Some of the girls hesitated as they said hello. "What's going on?" May asked. She knew something was wrong just by looking at their eyes. None of the cheerleaders looked her in the eyes.

"Nothing." The cheerleaders said together. Then one of them finally spoke up. "Didn't Sabrina call you and tell you?"

"Call me. About what?"

"Hello girls." May turned around and in front of her stood Sabrina. "Oh. May. I'm guessing you didn't get my message."

"What message?" May said. Among the cheerleaders were silence and Sabrina stood with her arms.

"Well… We've talked it over…"

"We?" May asked.

"The girls and I have made a decision."

"When?"

"We called a practice after school yesterday."

"A practice without me?" May said, "I'm team captain."

"Not anymore. We voted yesterday and we decided to kick you off the squad." Sabrina said.

"What? Why?" May said. "You can't kick me off the team. Who's going to be the team captain?"

"I am." Sabrina smiled brightly.

" There's more to being cheer captain than dating the captain of the football team. You have to actually be able to cheer."

"I can cheer." Sabrina shouted. "Way better than you can."

"You believe what you want." May said, "Plus you're scared of heights. You can't stand on top of the pyramid if you're scared of heights. You're not as good as me. I've been cheering since I was 12. You just started this year."

"So. Too bad." Sabrina said. "I'm the new cheer captain. There is nothing you can do about it."

"I thought you were my friend, Sabrina, but I guess not."

"Well I guess you were wrong." May turned around to and started to walk away.

"May." Sabrina called. May turned around to face her. "Return your pompoms and your uniform tomorrow before tomorrow's game." May turned back around and started to walk away. Sabrina walked away with the other girls behind her. May heard her name being called and she turned around.

"May!" Stephanie called, "I'm sorry. I know you really wanted to be on the squad."

"Stephanie, Did you know about this?" She looked down. "Don't even say anything. I thought I could trust you." May walked away.

"Wait, May," Stephanie ran after May and stood in front of her. "I'm sorry. I really am. I should have told you."

"That's right you should have." May said.

"I hope we can still be friends." Stephanie said. May nodded her head.

"STEPHANIE!!!" Sabrina screamed.

"I'll be right there. We should hang out sometime." Stephanie said.

"Sure."

"Are you busy this weekend?" Stephanie asked, "We can see a movie or something. I hear that the Ghost of Mermaid Lake is a great movie." (I just made that up. Lolz.)

"Sorry, I have to be somewhere with my parents." May said. "Thanks for the offer." May couldn't ruin her reputation. Sabrina would make sure to ruin anyone who would talk to her even her 'best friend', Stephanie. Sabrina didn't care and she definitely couldn't cheer at least not like May could.

"Maybe any other time." Stephanie said.

"STEPHANIE!!!! COME ON!!!"

"I'm coming!" Stephanie shouted.

"You'd better go."

"Goodbye." Stephanie turned around and so did May. The both started walking in opposite directions. "May." May turned around once more. "Just for the record, I voted for you not Sabrina."

May smiled and nodded her head. Stephanie ran off.

~~~~~*~~~~~

The first bell rang meaning it was time for first person. May sat in her assigned seat. In the beginning of the year she was happy to be seat next to her friends. Right behind her was Stephanie. She was happy it was her and not Sabrina. Sabrina was acting like a bitch. (Please excuse my language. I don't usually curse. But it gets my point across.)

"May," she looked at the teacher. "Have you been tutoring Drew?"

"You were serious." May said.

"May… If he doesn't pass-"

"I get it… I get it… Okay. He'll do good."

"Well."

"Huh?" May said.

"He'll do well."

"Yes. I'm sorry."

"Don't let me down, May." She nodded her head. Then the second bell rang. The door was still open. Sabrina held hands with her new boyfriend. She kissed him passionately in front of the door. The whole thing: Her arms around the neck, his hands around her waist, and their tongues in each other's mouth. Everyone looked at the two and whispered and then looked at May. May didn't seem to care. She just opened her books and started writing something down.

The teacher noticed what the kids were looking at. Then he stood at the door right in front of them. "I think you've proven you can stick your tongue down each other's throat." They pulled away from each other. Sabrina smirked at May trying to make her jealous but she wasn't even looking. "Now it's time for something that'll help you in the future. Unless you plan on working on the street corner. I'm kidding naturally. Sabrina come in and sit in your seat."

Sabrina kissed Brendan's cheek. She walked in the door and the door was slammed in his face by the teacher. Everyone laughed and Sabrina sat in her seat. She thought she was all that and May could notice that without even looking at her. She had never been Sabrina late or cut but she did. May couldn't pay attention at least she didn't have to try. They were just reviewing for the test. The teacher didn't call on her. He must have already known but May didn't care. She just doodled in her notebook.

~~~~~*~~~~~

The bell rang for second period. The teacher dismissed the class. May grabbed her belongings just like the rest of his classes. May stood and she was bumped by Sabrina. Her books were scattered across the floor and papers were everywhere. "Oopsie. My bad." Sabrina walked away with Stephanie by her side.

"You didn't have to do that." Stephanie said. Sabrina just flipped her hair and walked away. "I'm sorry about that." Stephanie helped her pick up the stuff that had spread out around the floor.

"Don't worry. She's just being an ass." They laughed. "Was I ever that mean?"

"Only when someone was mean to you." They smirked and stood.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome." Stephanie said. "Do you want me to wait for you?"

"No, you go ahead. I'll meet you there."

"Ok." Sabrina walked out of the room.

"Here." She turned around to see Drew. He handed her some papers. She thanked him and smiled. Drew could tell she was still sad. He just walked out of the room thinking that it must have been hard to lose your boyfriend, your stop on the cheerleading squad, and one of you're so called best friends in the same week. May sighed and was about to walk out of the room.

~~~~~*~~~~~

The day went by slowly. She felt as if she had been in school for at least 10 hours but in reality it was only 5 hours. There was only 3 hours left. 3 more periods left to survive. It was lunch time. May didn't feel like eating right now but she had to. She grabbed her tray and got her lunch. She walked into the lunchroom. May walked in the room. She didn't care that everyone stopped what they were doing to look at her. She walked right by the cheerleading table with pride. She sat at a table all by herself.

"Can I sit here?" May looked up to see Drew. She smiled and nodded her head.

~~~~~*~~~~~

"Look at her," Sabrina said laughing. "She's a loser now."

"She's not a loser."

"Come on Step. She is below us now. She doesn't deserve to talk to us."

"I thought we were friends. Even if she's not a cheerleader we can still be her friends." Stephanie said.

"She's cool. I agree with Stephanie."

"Yeah. Just because the majority voted for you. I don't know how that happened, but since we're not supposed to talk about the votes… whatever. She's still cool and I like her. She's really down to earth." Another cheerleader said to Sabrina.

"Then let's invite her over here."

"Uhh… I didn't want to go there but…" Sabrina stood on the top of the table and called for everyone's attention. "Attention." Sabrina smirked. "I have an announcement. Any guy who wants to ask May out cause she's cute there's no point."

"Sabrina, what the hell are you doing?" Stephanie said.

"Let me finish." Sabrina continued, "She's going to stay single until she's married. She's rather be a thirty year old virgin than have the pleasures of sex. She didn't even want to sleep with her boyfriend who she's been dating for almost 4 months. I mean come on. The most popular girl in school and she's not doing it. Do you have anything to say about that May? Because I know you do."

"I don't know what your problem is." May said. "First you sleep with my boyfriend, Second you take a cheer captain away. Now you're saying my business out loud. Yes if you must know it is true. Stay a virgin takes pride. As a virgin you can hold your head high anywhere you go. I have no need of shame. I have self-confidence, self-esteem, poise and a feeling of fulfillment. Wouldn't you rather remain an innocent virgin girl and enjoy such honor than be tossed about because your stomach is bulging with pregnancy for a baby who has no father? I'd rather be a thirty year old virgin than a 16 year old mother and everyone know that it has happened before. I will not fall into peer pressure. Judge me now. I don't care because you will know I will not be the 16 year old mother. Like some people. I'm not naming any names, Sabrina. And girls like that, Sabrina, will never get anywhere in life, Sabrina. So Goodbye." May walked out and threw her lunch away. She walked away mad.

"May," she heard someone call her name. She knew who it was but she didn't turn around to look. She walked out the door and ran into the wood and climbed one of the trees as she looked over the school yard as she looked at everyone in their own world. They never noticed the girl in the tree because she was always perfectly hidden in the leaves. The bell rang and she climbed out of her tree. She walked away pretending not to notice their glares. They never looked at her like they did now. She didn't care at least that what she forced herself to think.

~~~~~*~~~~~

Class was over and May was still not feeling well. It could have been that she hadn't eaten lunch because of the incident. "May," May looked up at her teacher, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Mrs. Surouge."

"Are you sure?" May nodded her head. "I can write you a pass to go home if you want." The teacher had already written the pass before May could refuse. "Just tell the nurse you have a headache." May nodded her head taking the pass.

"Thank you, Mrs. Surouge."

"You're welcome." May walked out the room and walked to her locker. She opened her locker and look at the picture of her and Brendan in the pool playing around at her 16th birthday party. She thought that this was a good time to clean out her locker. She threw away all her pictures of Brendan and her. After cleaning her locker and throwing away everything that had to do with Brendan. She looked at the picture of her, Stephanie, Sabrina, and Dawn at the Mall. She wanted to rip the picture up but May couldn't. So instead she just decided to rip Sabrina's portion but May couldn't do that either so instead she just threw it in the back of her locker hoping to never look at it again. May put her books in the locker pulling out only what she needed.

May slowly walked to the nurse's office.

"Hello, Ms Maple. What's wrong?"

"I have a headache. I have a pass saying I can go home." She gave the nurse a pass and she nodded her head.

"You can lay down while I call your parents."

"Thank you."

Hope you enjoy. Tell me how you liked it.
